St George Travel’s Sharon Puckeridge is the winner of the ‘Raise, Sell & Win’ incentive that challenged Travellers Choice advisors to sell Adventure World tours and spotlight Animal Asia’s bear rescue and rehabilitation efforts in Vietnam.
The promotion ran from 2 November 2024 to 31 March 2025, encouraging travel advisors to sell Adventure World product and fundraise for Animals Asia to continue rescuing and rehabilitating bears from the cruel bear bile industry.
The Sydney-based advisor will experience her very own 13-day ‘Authentic Vietnam‘ tour for two, including an exclusive visit to the Animals Asia Bear Sanctuary in Tam Dao to see their work firsthand.
Puckeridge said: “The incentive resonated deeply with me. I was so inspired by Animals Asia’s Dr Jill Robinson and her moving presentation at last year’s conference.”
“I’m particularly excited at the opportunity to become a bear guardian, to meet Bong Bong (TC’s sponsored moon bear) and to experience the curated Vietnam itinerary firsthand.”
Travellers Choice Managing Director Christian Hunter added: “We’re proud to have supported Animals Asia alongside Adventure World for the past year.”
“Becoming a moon bear guardian has inspired our members toward more sustainable and purposeful travel.
“We’re excited for Sharon to meet Bong Bong and witness Animals Asia’s impactful work firsthand, which will undoubtedly resonate with customers interested in future travel to Vietnam.”
